1 doubt if theie is a mart in this
county Ihnt is in the least interested
in horses but that knows of the Ken
tucky saddle horse. A. southern novel
is hardly cogiplcte without mention
ing: a hora mounted on one of these
far famed steeds. Still if you would
see one of these horses you would not
huve to leave tho county, as several
specimens of this bleed are to be
found here at home. Tho two stal
liins, Calloway Kins; nnd Cour de
Leon, iiio owned by G. S. Levy of La
Grande, and are of as fine specimens
as are to be found in the West. Cal
loway Kinfj has been owned in. this
valley for several years. Cour de
Leon is a young; animal having'' been
purchased of John R. Woodford of
Kentucky a little over two years ago,
us u coming yearling. Both of these
horses mo of the famous Denmark
strain of saddlers.
. Calloway King is by Golden Kin;
by Game's Denmark. Eastern horse
men claim him to be the best repre
sentative of tho tireed in the West.
As prepotent sire he has few equals..
Marcs are to be shipped to Union from
neighboring states to be breed to him
this spring. iBuyers from Kansas City
took back a half car lead of his get
to be used as saddle horses on the
Kansas City market. His get are
always in demand by horse buyers.
Com- de Leon is by Sterling Chief
a half brother of the champion saddle
stallion Astral King. He was secured
to be used on the get of Calloway
King.
While the bulk of the produce of
the older horse has been from small
mares of no particular breeding,
some standard breed and thorough
bred mares have been bred to him
during the past season and that this
county will be known as the home of
the best saddlers in the West is a fore
gone conclusion.
Poland China Ilogs Shropshire
Sheep.
Every one knows Tom Johnson of
Cove (when he is farming.) Thay
also know what he doesn't sec about
a "critter" wren he looks it over, is
not there. Tom likes a hog, but he
likes a Poland just a little bit better
than anytime; else' in the hog line.
Further, when he buys breeding stock
to improve his herd, nothing but tho
best will do. He has purchased stock
of Thos. Brunk of Salem, Ore. Mr.
B:unk has a notional reputation as a
bleeder and judge of Poland Chinas.
Stock from the Copelnnd herd of
Kansas has also been secured. While
a year aga he paid the highest price
paid for sows at the Stock Yard
Show sale in Portland, t they helng
bred by Herbert Wullard, another well
known fancier of this breed.
When it comes, to Shropshire sheep
the story is one of quality again, and
a failure on the part of Mr. Johnson
to be able to supply the demand for
bucks of this breed. They are mostly
of the breeding of stock secured of
Charlie Cleveland, of Grcsham. Ore
gon, the pioneer breeder of Shrop
shire.s. Alfalfa. .
1 Don't negleit to renovate that al
falfa patch this spring. Harrow it
with some sort of an implement, still
use a little judgment, even a good
thing may be over done. Where there
is plenty of moisture the following
may be of value under some condi
tion. (Reported by E. H. Thomas,
County Agriculturist of Sun Luis Co.,
Colo.) as early in the spring as the
eround can be worked, go into the al
falfa field with a hoe drill, and give
the field another thorough cultivation.
At the same time 30 to 40 pounds of
bald barley is drilled in with the al
falfa. "This barley will be found to be in
the right stage for making good hay
at the time the first cutting of alfal
fa is Teady. Tt.ds serves a double pur
pose. It gives the alfalfa a good
cultivation and increases the tonnage
of hay. The barley alfalfa mixture
makes an excellent feed and the thick
ening of the stand for the first cutting
tends to keep back weeds, also to give
finer-stemmed alfalfa for the .first
cutting." .
Sprays.
Sprays used to control orchard
nests and diseases are roughly di
vided into two classes, namely, insect
icides and fungicides. Sprays used to
kill insects or which keep them from
attacking plant are known as Insecti
cides. I. Arsenide poisons, applied to the
fruit and foliage. Poisons are used
for insects that eat fruit and leaves
and chew their food, as' caterpillars,
apulo worms, potato bugs, etc.
II. Contact insecticides are used
for soft bodied insects that su':k
their food through a beak. This beak
is inserted into the plant tissue and
the juices are sucked out. Conse
nuently atw poison applied to trc sur
face of thi plant arc of no avail. So
we must use a spray that will kill tho
inctwt hv wettinc him. Anhis :ir
plant lice, San Jose and Oyster Shell
wnln pome under- this cbss. Linv!
Sulphur comes under this cws of
snravs in combating the scale insects.
Nirotine sulphate, kercscne emulsion
and crude oil emulsion are used for
the 'plant lice class.
KurtD-icidcs are snravs used to com
hat diseases caused by a snv.i!l plant

Bfjih. rnnsin!!- a dirt v. greenish black
snot or scab on apples and pears.
Peach leaf curl, causing the leaves of j
the peach to thicken and t ecomo di.?-1
torted. Gooseberry mildew causing
the leaves to drop and the fruit to be
come discolored and misshapen.
Snrnvs used as a fungicide are,
J lime sulphur, bordeaux mixture, liver

I It must ie rememoerea in.u i-c,
j mission of a fungicide is that of a ,
